…getting into a taxi, and instead of taking in the usual scent of (i) old sweat, (ii) a clean toilet i.e. Lemon Zesty Freshness or whateveritscalled, (iii) a dirty toilet i.e. ammonia, (iv) stale food, (v) stale fish, (vi) incense or (vii) medicated oil,

it’s the fragrance of pandan leaves.

The cab uncle had 3 little pouches of pandan leaves dangling about in front of the aircon vent. Ah bliss.

I know most drivers have a bunch of pandan leaves in their cars to apparently keep the roaches out. But somehow the pandan scent molecules are always severely outnumbered by the molecules from the enemy (i)-(vii) contingents. I thank this particular driver for helping the Pandans fight back!
